Where are those learned men and women who spoke big grammar of change during the general election?
Where are those who boasted “I am a lawyer, I read law”?
Where are those elements who attacked Goodluck Jonathan at the slightest oppurtunity? Where are those who told us they schooled in UK and America?
Where are those who were called to bar to represent and liberate the common man from tyranny?
Where are those “big” boys and ladies who are custodians of English grammar and laughed at our then First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan because of her spoken English?
Where are those people who would quote the law and all the sections of the constitutions?
Have you all gone deaf and dumb that you can no more speak your grammar? If you had crucified Goodluck Jonathan and you keep mute now in the face of President Buhari destroying our judiciary and legal system, if you are quiet now for fear of being thrown in DSS dungeon or being jailed, then you are a big fool with all your knowledge of law.
If you have excelled and bagged all doctorate degrees in law and came out with magna cum laude and a man without certificate will look you all in the face and tell the whole Nigerians he will not obey law then go and bury your supposed certificates of law!
Where are the Rotimis, Femi Falanas, Ozekhomes, Agbakobas,
Shame on you all and your profession. Shame on the oath you profess, for you cannot defend your profession in face of tyranny and oppression.
I know some fools will have cause to abuse me for writing this piece but I have spoken and what is written remains written without any regrets.
